  • Feeling more like a "real" Studebaker guy

    I know that real Studebaker guys have more than one, and many have flocks. For the moment at least my driveway and carport have established the proper perspective. The Cruiser is just here for a few days being stored for a friend till it can be picked up. The topless lark wagon is here for me to cut off the panel that the tailgate bolts to of it to replace the rusty one on my Conestoga. From here it goes on to my friend Art who will harvest the Dana 44, front fenders and doors and whatever else he finds useful. Stu Cool is in the garage so that makes four! I just had to show off my Stude filled yard.

            That is a cool picture !!!
            My only advice is watch the door count! Ha Ha! Hey If it says Studebaker on it it's all good!

            Your two cars up on me so I must show respect.

              Pat where is the 66 going? I heard it was headed to Australia?

                It is, I bought it and another one, they're being collected within a week and taken to LA to await Aussie import approval documentation, and shipment down here.

                Will be nice to have 2 1966's, the other cruiser may be sold or bought by a friend, no final decisions yet.

                    I've been telling Dad that he needs one of those carports.

                      Thanks Dave, the car port is pretty new and I am very happy with it. It gives me a place to work outside, but in the shade. Great when you are trying to clean up dirty stuff and don't want to get it all over the shop.

                          Pat, it looks like you have a DOUBLE Roof over your Hot Rod, so it should be extra good and Dry!

                          You still have room for 2 cars next to the Garage and one more in front when the Trailer and Lark are gone, so you have a ways to go yet.

                            We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                              The carport is in front of the shop, but not over it. So still just a single roof. But it is a good one. Actually there is room behind the shop for a car too, so I better get to shopping...
